20. What’s something you learned this year?
as bulleted in my journal lol:
i’m not in control of other people’s actions! friends are our most important connections! i am the main focus of my own life! regardless of what is expected of me by others, i will make myself happy! i have survived everything i thought i couldn’t and i can do it again!
(Thank God indeed, man. I spent the first half of this day in a morose panic because they couldn’t find one of my cats to get him out of there. Luckily they just found him and everyone’s out of the danger zone.)
take ur pick or all out offff sayen shahbanu vesper saevus kuranes serannian no some of these arent biased hush
bless you az ok let’s start
sayen
she’s from an isolated village on the snowsquall tundra.
she was… pretty violently abused in her childhood, and confined to a cage for most of her life.
she made friends with a snowy owl—when her pet was discovered, it was killed immediately.
no one knows how the hell she got to the castle and what happened in-between her time in the village and now.
her spine is all sorts of messed up and pokes out painfully. she won’t let anyone get close enough to figure out what’s wrong.
she’s sort of an all-purpose servant, but her specialty is raising birds. she manages to make herself moderately useful by raising them for eggs and meat, and training them to send messages and scavenge.
she’s survived this long in the hyper-competitive castle culture by keeping her head to the ground and minding her own damn business.
she’s a favourite servant among those with birds. kast and hakan like her.
shahbanu
shahbanu is among the oldest of the castle’s residents.
she tried to show her loyalty to queen decay by cutting out her own eyes, but rumours are that the lightweaver took offence to shahbanu’s betrayal—hence why light spots form all around shahbanu’s body.
they are very sensitive and burn painfully when they sense light, but in total darkness they multiply and grow even more sensitive.
shahbanu gave up on covering them as a result. it just made the pain worse, whereas exposing them desensitizes them slowly.
she wears less clothing than most as a result. oh, and her real eyes ended up regenerating, along with a really big light spot on her forehead.
she stills considers herself loyal to decay and decay alone.
her long time in plague has warped her body into a mutated mess, but not as much as vigdis and cynbel. she has quills growing everywhere, usually hidden under her feathers. when she gets riled up, they stick up. she’s also covered in varicose veins and presumably benign tumours.
cynbel, vigdis, and shahbanu form the trio of plaguewarped/plaguetouched skydancers called the castle’s ‘angels’.
vesper
sad girl, too good for this world, too pure.
born shadetouched, the shade was expelled from her body at a young age.
it lasted for a week before coming back, taking the form of a colony of black honeybees.
the bees burrowed into her skin, turning her into a living hive. they make honey. vesper used to sell it for money on purgare’s illegal goods exchange.
trelawney kept her as an experiment. why decay even allowed it… I’m still thinking about it, actually.
she was scorned by the castle and begged the gods that be for a friend. then a strange skydancer from arcane wandered into the castle and sort of stuck around. they had kids a few times, although Vesper always had an off feeling about her new friend.
turns out she still had a weak link to the shade, and it granted her wish by brainwashing a stranger from a different country and convincing them to find her.
oh, then her family died (you know about this!!!), severing the link between her and the shade. the only reason she wasn’t really affected by it up to that point was because of her link to it through her family, so when they died, the chains came loose.
the shade bees abruptly left her body and killed her friend/mate-not-mate—the only reason they didn’t kill anyone else was because of a certain slimy red spiral we all know and love.
vesper knew damn well that the tolerance she was just barely shown in the castle was out the fucking window that moment. she went from second-class citizen to fugitive, and ran as far as she damn could.
she’s still on the run. most of the castle will kill her if they find her.
saevus
saevus followed vesper because dammit, they were friends! and saevus wasn’t really well-liked in the castle either because of it.
saevus isn’t actually shadetouched. she’s very resistant to it. not decayspawn levels of resistance, but still, pretty high.
the shade did attack her as a child, and it did severe damage to her face and neck. she wears the wolf pelt to cover it. removing it is enough to throw her into a violent frenzy.
she’s super friendly and a good leader. very charismatic! vesper and sera, despite being older than saevus, are happy to defer to her. she’s pretty much the leader of the small group.
the markings on her body are tattoos. she got the idea in a dream, visited a sketchy tattoo parlour one day, and the rest is history. vesper chewed out kuranes later because damn it he had something to do with it. still no indication of being shadetouched, thankfully.
she hunts for vesper and sera and herself, but loves to splurge what little spending money she has on good food.
was mostly raised by vesper and serannian.
kuranes
-͡ ̛͜҉y̷̢o̸u͘ ̵͞k̢nǫ̕w̕͠ ͝ev̸e̴ŕy̨̢͜t̷͠҉h̢́i͘n̢̛͟g ̨́t̴͘h̵er̵̶̨e̴҉ ͘͠͞ì̡s̀͢ t̷͏o̵̶ ̡͟͜k̷̕n̸̛̛ow̡ a҉͜b̷̛͢o̸u͡t͡͡ ̛͠͡him͜ ̧́͞y̶o͜͠u’̸̀v́͝͏e͘͢ ̢̕j͘ư҉̧s͝t foŕ͟g̕͢ǫ̡t͟t̵̸é̕͡n̷ iţ ̴ì̸n ̡̢ą͡ ̷c̷͏h͠i͞ļ̴͜d́͠h̴͠o͟o̸d ̸̸̡d͢͞r҉eà͘͠m̀͡
serannian
like vesper, she was kept by trelawney as another experiment.
since expelling the shade didn’t work as intended, trelawney tried to seal it inside serannian.
it mostly worked! she has some funky eyes going down her side now, though.
… if you look through the pupils of the eyes going down her side, you can see into the dreamscape. sometimes a flash of red and purple flies by.
good at sensing leylines.
very nervous. the anxiety to vesper’s depression.
likes pretty, shiny things. saevus gives her jewellery to cheer her up.
actually kuranes’ niece. he’s sort of protective over her. it would be more heartwarming if it wasn’t kuranes.
talks a lot about a dragon named celephais. vesper and saevus think celephais is some sort of imaginary friend serannian made up. kuranes says nothing.
(OKAY SO I WENT ON THEIR TWITTER AND UH
THERE ARE QUITE A FEW POSTS ABOUT THIS COMIC
SO I’M JUST GUNNA LIKE
YOU KNOW
HAVE A HEART ATTACK)
i reblogged an oc ask meme from u and its only courteous to send questions! so here u go despite the fact we've never talked lol: ghost and betrayal for an oc of ur choice!
FAIR ENOUGH. FAIR ENOUGH. unfortunately ashton carver the vampire is taking up a lot of brain real estate and not even paying fucking rent (asshole. i’m getting art of him and maybe i’ll be able to think about other OCs after that) so ASHTON TIME
ghost: Who or what haunts your OC? What happened? How do they live with their ghosts? Ashton has tried to make himself into a thing that isn’t bogged down by his ghosts and he’s kind of succeeded. Not really. Mostly she uses it as fuel, because -- You ever find out that you’re infected by the malevolent cells of your vampiric bloodline’s progenitor, that you pass those cells onto anyone you use your powers on, and that those cells are completely capable of transforming their host into an avatar of said progenitor? And that you might’ve been meant to be an avatar, but you’re more stubborn than god, so it didn’t work? And you used your powers on your ex, who’s now in a position of immense political and social weight? And you used your powers on your other party members? And your boss? And your friends? Because your powers were useful, and nobody else had them, and -- Sometimes they just kind of sit and think about it. About how on some level, that’s still part of why he’s doing this: it’s not just to have total control and agency over his own self. It’s because if she wants the people she cared about to be safe - from her, and from everything her bloodline entails -- she had to leave. They had to leave. And maybe if he gets strong enough, maybe if he burns his progenitor’s fucking blight from this world and from his blood, then maybe -- but monsters like him don’t retire. There isn’t an after. If she’s lucky she’ll go out in a blaze of glory and take that thing with her. But that underlying knowledge of what could happen always haunts her, right alongside the ghost of the person she used to be, back when she actually did care about them; back when she was human enough to care about one person like that. And then he goes off and summons a bunch of demons because that’s how we cope these days. There’s no therapy when you’re an internationally wanted vampiric criminal!! There’s just looking at yourself in the mirror and going YOU DUMB SON OF A BITCH, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT and then wearing your ex’s face next time you take public transport because you’re being so so so normal about those feelings you are pretending you do not have and can no longer understand.
hey, happy birthday!
fashionably late answering this but hi! thank you so much! <3
✨✨✨
tell me about uhhhh. uhh. uhhh. one of your commander ocs, one of your charr, and, hm, one of your dragon scions, u can choose which. godspeed
oooo fun!! let's see, how about...
Commander: Runa
Runa's Reaper Shroud is quite unique!! Instead of the more traditional version where the Necromancer veils their shape in shadows and wields a scythe, Runa combines her Become the Bear form with her Shroud, becoming a HUGE bear enveloped in shadows! She can still form the shadow scythe if she wants to, but she honestly prefers to use the form's wicked claws instead.
Charr: Drusilla
Drusilla actually has a cub! It happened a while ago, when Drusilla was more involved in the general lifestyle of being a Blood Legion charr, and honestly she doesn't even remember who the other parent was.
As soon as the cub was old enough to join the fahrar, Drusilla retreated from her cub's life, having quickly realized that she wasn't in the least ready to be involved in any way.
More recently, Drusilla has since run into her now-grown cub, a scrappy Engineer named Junius Sparkstep, who helped developed a lot of the tech used by the United Legions during the Charr Civil War!
Despite the years apart, and some initial hesitation to approach her, Drusilla did reach out to Junius, and she's quite proud of what she's accomplished.
Dragon Scion: Varaak
Since I haven't talked about him much yet, let's go with my Kralk Scion!
Despite being one of the oldest of the Scions (It's possible that Nil is older than him, but it's hard to really know), Varaak only very recently became involved in.. Any of the stuff involving the Elder Dragons and Aurene.
While his sister Glint was purified by the Forgotten, Varaak slumbered beneath Grothmar Valley, close to where his father would later emerge to fly south. It was only when Aurene and the Commanders arrived in the area for the All Legions Rally that Varaak was stirred from his slumber, when Aurene re-Branded over Kralkatorrik's Emergence Zone. Aurene's magic woke Varaak, and at the same time purified him to an extent as well. While he still looks very similar to his father, he now has a small patch on him with the same prismatic crystals of his niece.
He's been a little slow on the uptake to aid Aurene and her cause, but he's not against her in the least, and that's really all that matters to her.
